Did you LOVE HONKfest last year? Or the year before? Do you agree with the NPR program producer who told us that it was the best event he'd experienced in the Boston area in 10 years?
Do you want another unforgettable honk in 2008?
Well now's the time to help us fund this street festival of socially and politically activist brass bands from around the world, to be held Columbus Day weekend, October 10-12, 2008.
The HONK! Festival is a non-profit, grassroots event, and although we are actively seeking grant money from various organizations, we depend primarily on donations to pay our expenses. We're hoping to include 20 bands this year, and we're looking at a budget of around $50,000, mostly to help offset travel expenses, food, promotion, and venue rentals. That's a lot of money, and we need your help to make it happen.
On Sunday March 30th, 6-9 pm, we will throw a fundraising party at an awesome, little-known space in Somerville, featuring:
* the raucous, NOLA sounds of the Second Line Social Aid & Pleasure Society Brass Band, and a chance to win them for a future party of your choice
* the uplifting, dance-inducing, ethiogroove music of Debo band
* the new film by Olivier Asselin, Honk You Very Much, based on last year's festival
* a showing of the 3-DVD set Return of HONK! by our friends at SCAT TV
* opportunities to support HONK! through the purchase of very very cool, unique and collectible HONK! buttons
* delicious food donated by fine local restaurants
* possible special appearance by comedian and political satirist Jimmy Tingle
Admission is $25/person in advance, $30 on the day of the fundraiser. Come join our party, and help us do what it takes to make this unique and inspiring event return again in 2008!
